Here are the photos of Tucker's skull and teeth (click a photo to enlarge it in a separate window):

Both jaws, opened up - upper jaw is above (the green foam is placeholder for the tongue - they didn't have pink at the fabric store...). |

Both jaws again. |

Outside left side - notice the sharp edges that would cut into the cheek if he'd had a noseband pressing from the outside. |

Looking inside from the back - notice the sharp edges on his lower teeth. Also, you rarely get to see what the upper palate, nasal cavity and sinuses look like from the inside!
|

The wave that formed on the bottom teeth slowly pushed the top teeth into these painful gaps.
|

The bottom teeth should have been floated down level, front-to-back and side-to-side. |

A closer view of the gaps pushed/worn into the upper teeth.
|

Old food was packed rock-hard into these gaps, and the bone was deteriorating beneath the old food and between the teeth.
